Subject: a 3rd person interested in Stock's idea

To Rudi Hoffman:

If I understand you properly you're in favor of setting up a
self-regulating board for the cryonics societies. I too am in favor; what
I personally think we want is something that starts out a minimal as
possible with the opportunity of growing as it becomes more needed.

Your questionaire almost does it. Perhaps because I attach more weight
to actual conduct, I would say that the next stage beyond your setup
would be a way in which members of one society could look at the
suspensions and finances of another to verify that it's doing what
it said it was doing. This requires lots more trust than may presently
exist, so that it might end up as a second stage in the growth of a 
self-regulating board.

I'd be very happy to discuss this issue further apart from Cryonet.

             Best wishes and long long life for all,

                 Thomas Donaldson
